Highlighting the reality of moving into a new-build property built by Countryside in partnership with Waltham Forest. It has, and continues to be, hell.
Well done to @PeterKGeoghegan and Khadija Sharife for winning the @PrivateEyeNews Paul Foot Award — and revealing a conspiracy which for some time succeeded in suppressing scrutiny and defaming not just Sunday Times reporters, but those without the same resources to defend themselves including, above all, Paul Holden @StarmertheFraud.
He was trashed for supplying us with bulletproof documents which posed a question which years later has still never been answered: why did the entity which made Keir Starmer leader fail to declare hundreds upon thousands of pounds when it had been told it needed to?
The alacrity with which Labour ministers and MPs rightly scrutinise, for instance, Farage’s finances strangely still eludes them on this. Still some grumble about the supposed factual identity of Starmer’s adversaries — and in so doing, either inadvertently or otherwise give oxygen to many of the report’s lurid claims.
Which is why fearless journalism was the only remedy. Peter and Khadija recognised that and the whole fourth estate is fortunate they did.
And a final word: only a few of us know the sacrifices some people have made to bring this information into the public domain. Thank you to them — and let’s all remember that, according to Hansard, at least one source is being hounded by Apco, the appalling firm behind the report.

Who's really pulling the strings at Thames Water?
Shareholders have walked away. In their place are US hedge fund companies like Elliott Management, whose CEO is a Trump mega-donor. Is that who you want controlling our biggest water company?

Gosh. Guardian reports CPS warned Yvette Cooper that her Observer op-ed about Palestine Action risked prejudicing jury. That’s contempt - an imprisonable offence for both author & publisher…what likelihood any action taken? 🤔
The Guardian, The Atlantic, Vox, Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, New Yorker, & Wired are just a few of the media outlets that have struck deals with OpenAI—in some cases, for OpenAI to train AI on their articles. I write about this deplorable situation here:
We’ve been doggedly reporting on Palantir’s contracts with UK state…& this latest one with Met police is both creepy & opaque.
Met has used Palantir to spy on its own officers. If it can do this to its own employees…what about the rest of us?
